Before sitting down to watch a movie like Triple Threat, the new adrenaline-filled action movie that brings together three of the genre’s biggest Asian stars, you have to ask yourself what you want out of a movie like this. If you’re looking for an intriguing plot, deep characters, or striking dialogue, then maybe you should save yourself the stream. But if you’re after memorable set-pieces, dizzying fights, and shoot ‘em up thrills… well, you still may want to precede with caution.

The surprise appearance thrilled a select group of fans who had been invited along to get a sneak peek of Deepika’s likeness before the attraction opened to the public. Little did they know that the star herself would join them.

Renowned for her starring role in films including Piku, Padmaavat, and XXX: Return of Xander Cage, the actress has been involved in the creation of her figure from the outset and has even donated the glamourous gown that she wore at the 2016 Iifa Awards.

Nickelodeon’s classic anthology horror series Are You Afraid of the Dark? is set for a return this year thanks to Paramount Pictures with the release of a live-action feature adaptation, and it seems we’ll also be getting a brand new miniseries to lead into the film.

As reported by SlashFilm, the miniseries will follow new members of the Midnight Society as they gather around a campfire in the woods to share scary stories. Further details are being kept under wraps, but it is expected that both the series and the film will feature the same cast members.

D.J. Caruso is set to direct the Are You Afraid of the Dark? movie from a script by Gary Dauberman. Both the film and miniseries are set for release in October.

The post Nickelodeon to air new Are You Afraid of the Dark? miniseries to coincide with movie appeared first on Flickering Myth.

Deadline reports that the movie follows “an officer in the Marines who becomes traumatized while serving her country and returns home looking for an opportunity to heal. She seeks refuge as a doorman at a labyrinthine, historic, New York apartment building but discovers that mercenaries are intent on destroying everything in their way to retrieve precious art hidden in the building walls.”

Doorman, which is slated to shoot in April 2019, tells the story of an officer in the Marines who becomes traumatized while serving her country and returns home looking for an opportunity to heal.

Last year it was announced that Paramount had tapped screenwriter Gary Dauberman to write a script for a big screen adaptation of the 90s Nickelodeon show Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and now it seems the project may have secured a director.

According to Bloody Disgusting, Disturbia and xXx: Return of Xander Cage director D.J. Caruso is currently in talks to helm the film, and – given that Paramount is targeting an October 2019 release – the studio will presumably be keen to lock the director in place as soon as possible.

Are You Afraid of the Dark? is a horror-fantasy anthology series which ran for seven seasons between 1990 and 2000 and revolved around a group of teenagers who called themselves ‘The Midnight Society’, and would assemble at night to tell each other scary stories based on fairytales and urban legends but with a modern twist.

Let me kick this off by saying that I'm a massive fan of Nickelodeon's 90's kid-horror anthology series Are You Afraid of the Dark?. I own every episode on DVD (come on Blu-ray collection!) and, yes, I can hand over some choice episode recommends (see below). And it's armed with this love of all things The Midnight Society, that one of the upcoming horror movies that I'm looking forward to the most is Paramount's big-budget feature film adaptation.

Paramount Pictures is looking to finally move forward with their feature film adaptation of Nickelodeon’s popular ’90s television series Are You Afraid of the Dark?

According to Bloody-Disgusting, Disturbia and Eagle Eye director D.J. Caruso is in talks to helm the film from a script written by Gary Dauberman, who recently wrote the adaptation of Stephen King’s It.

When previously talking about the film project, Dauberman said it will “honor the darker, scarier tone of the show.” The show itself revolved around a group of teenagers who referred to themselves as The Midnight Society. Every week, at a secret location in the woods, one member would tell a scary story to the rest of the group, some of which were based on public domain fairy tales, short stories, or urban legends.

Caruso seems like a decent choice to take on the project, especially with a film like Disturbia under his belt.

After spending a number of years stuck in development hell at New Line Cinema, the feature film rights to the hit Xbox video game series Gears of War moved to Universal Pictures back in 2016, and now it seems the studio is ready to move forward with its plans.

According to The Wrap, Universal has enlisted screenwriter F. Scott Frazier to pen the script for the big screen adaptation of the first-person shooter, which takes place on the planet of Sera and follows Marcus Phoenix, a convict who is reinstated into the Coalition of Ordered Government’s military to lead a last-gasp strike against the Locust Horde, a subterranean species which has invaded the surface.

The Gears of War movie has some new life. Universal has tapped F. Scott Frazier to pen the screenplay for the video game adaptation, which has been gestating for a couple of years now. Frazier previously penned last year's xXx: Return of Xander Cage, as well as The Numbers Station and Collide. Should his draft of Gears of War get the go-ahead from the studio, it would easily be his most high-profile project to date.

Previously, Avatar 2 writer Shane Salerno took a crack at the adaptation. Apparently, Universal wants to head in a different direction with it. According to the new report, F. Scott Frazier is writing an entire screenplay and it doesn't sound like he's simply going to do a rewrite of what's already been put to paper previously. Universal initially acquired the rights to the blockbuster video game franchise from Microsoft in 2016. Development has been a bit slow up to this point,

This project has been sitting around waiting to be developed at the studio for a couple years. They picked up the rights to the property back in 2016, but now according to The Wrap, they’re ready to get serious about moving forward with it. They’ve hired screenwriter F. Scott Frazier to write the script. Frazier’s previous writing credits include Collide and xXx: Return of Xander Cage.

I think that the films Frazier has worked on have been pretty mediocre action film projects, so I’m not expecting much from the Gears of War script that he’ll write. I’m sure the movie will look visually awesome, but as I’ve said many times before, visuals don’t make a great film.

Universal Pictures optioned motion picture rights to Microsoft Studio’s iconic “Gears of War” franchise in 2016, based on the Xbox video game series. Set on the planet Sera, “Gears of War” is a third-person shooter that follows a former P.O.W. who leads the human resistance against the Locust Horde, a race of creatures who emerge from beneath the Earth’s surface intent on eliminating mankind.

With filming slated to get underway in 2019, we now have our first casting news for the as-yet-untitled xXx4, with Variety reporting that Jay Chou (The Green Hornet) and Zoe Zhang (Chinese Zodiac) are set to star alongside Diesel.

“I’ve met DJ a number of times over the past few months and it’s very clear how talented he is as a director,” said Chou. “I am looking forward to working with him and Vin in bringing this film to global audiences. This is an incredibly exciting film which I’m beyond happy to join.”

Jay Chou is an Asian superstar who has won the World Music Award four times and appeared on soundtracks for films, including: The Green Hornet, Now You See Me 2, and Kung Fu Panda 3. With multiple world tours under his belt, the "King of Mandopop" has acted as a mentor for the past two seasons of The Voice in China. In Hollywood, Chou is known for appearing alongside Seth Rogen in the action comedy The Green Hornet and Jon Chu's Adventure-Comedy Now You See Me 2.

The H Collective said Tuesday that it will finance “xXx 4” alongside several investment partners, including Sparkle Roll Media, iQiyi Pictures, Dadi Huarui, Star League Media, and Fulcrum Management Co. Production is slated to begin in 2019.

Sony’s Screen Gems will release the film in the U.S. Constantin Film will release the movie in German-speaking territories and arrange for the film’s distribution in China; Toho will distribute in Japan; and Sony Pictures Releasing International will release in the rest of the world.

From the poster, A.X.L. looks like one of the fake movies Vinny Chase would star in on Entourage, which might lead you to believe that it’s a good choice for a night of getting drunk and laughing at a bad movie with your friends. It is not. Save yourself the heartbreak and rent xXx: Return Of Xander Cage instead,…

The CW announced August 7 that Ruby Rose, the Australian actress best known for her breakout role on “Orange is the New Black,” would be leading its upcoming “Batwoman” television series in the title role, but not every fan of the comic book superhero was thrilled with the casting announcement. Angry “Batwoman” fans took to social media in the days following Rose’s hiring to slam the decision by using the hashtag #RecastBatwoman. Fans complained that Rose was the wrong LGBTQ actor to play the superhero and noted that, unlike the character in the comics, Rose is not Jewish.

Rose, currently starring on the big screen in “The Meg,” responded to the backlash by removing herself from Twitter. Rose deleted her Twitter account after sending out one final message to her followers (via Vulture): “I am looking forward to getting more than four hours of sleep and to break from
